The City of Hayward has been profiled as part of the ongoing "Strong Cities | Strong State" campaign highlighting local government success stories across California. "Strong Cities | Strong State" is a project of the League of California Cities and the California City Management Foundation (CCMF).

The "Strong Cities | Strong State" website is the centerpiece of a campaign broadly promoting city success stories alongside profiles of the elected officials and city managers working together to build and maintain a high quality of life for California city residents.

"We are proud to participate in the Strong Cities | Strong State project," said Hayward City Manager Fran David. "Hayward's City Council and staff work hard to provide effective and innovative services. This project is an opportunity for us to highlight some of the City's most successful programs."

The overarching goal of the "Strong Cities" campaign is to promote the innovation and experience of local officials in delivering vital services at a time when this expertise is vitally needed by state leaders struggling with fundamental issues of governance. "Strong Cities | Strong State" seeks to position cities as vital, necessary and equal partners in building a better California.
